The story that comes to mind is that of Ninevah, a very wicked city, to which God sent Jonah to call the people to repentence.

Well, we all know the story of THAT refusal on Jonah's part and where it got him.

But the REST of the story, as they say, was that Jonah did go there after his adventure with the whale, and preached repentence, and the whole city repented and put on sackcloth (a sign of mourning).

Ninevah is smack dab in the middle of Iraq, a very wicked place.

Perhaps the "early surrendar" being touted, is a way of avoiding the destruction that would befall Iraq.

Continue to pray for our president, his advisors, our men and women in the armed forces everywhere, the people of Iraq, and even Saddam Hussein, our enemy, as Jesus called us to do.

Miracles still happen.

AMEN!

I do pray that re the evil leaders Hussein and sons--that God convert them a la the Apostle Paul on the Damascus road--

OR

EXILE THEM FAR AWAY

OR

TAKE THEM DRAMATICALLY OUT OF THIS LIFE IN A PUBLIC WAY.

OR

Such other as He would direct effectively removing them from any hope of power or influence ever again in this life.

Thanks for your great reply.
